The course is seemingly simple, but ONE reading when you feel that you understand the material is not enough since there are quite a number of concepts placed into the chapters. They require careful re-reading while paying attention to concepts/terms formulations and structure of what they consist of in order to have them ready in your head for the quiz that still will be rather swift with no time to read the book. More than that, attempts to find answers in the book will hinder the performance since they will take more time and you will have none left for the remaining questions. The advice is to start answering questions that you immediately know how to answer leaving the more difficult ones for later. After the easy questions are done – yo will see how much time is left for thinking on the more difficult ones.
The quiz, like the previous one is STRICTLY based on the book material. Every semester the book authors update the quiz which is then offered country-wide. I agree that sometimes the proposed “right” answers might not be so exclusive after “imaginative thinking.” In the previous quiz the answers that could've been correct too - philosophically speaking – I was offering some points versus zero since it was your first quiz. In Quiz 2 the correct answer will be the one corresponding to the textbook formulas.
WARNING: this time some students might prepare much better than average (poor like last time) preparation and change the curve. This might not save those who did not firmly internalize the material for quick reaction to the questions like it did last time where almost were placed roughly into the same narrow sector of grades – thus not loosing too many points. Alternatively, the good preparation might move you high above the curve.
